At 19, Y/N and her dad return home to Wimberley, Texas, after a month away on a road trip around Italy, "a break from the usual routine" as her dad described it, seeing all what it had to offer. But nothing could prepare her for seeing Jensen again. Her father's best friend. The man she's known her entire life. The one person she should never want. Between hot Texas summers, family dinners, forced proximity, stolen glances and a tension neither of them can ignore, the line between forbidden and irresistible begins to blur. Because sometimes, the person you want most is the one you were never supposed to have. A Jensen Ackles slow burn fanfic by deansdarling. Also on ao3. This story will contain smut later on within the book. You just have to be patient 😉

Some people fall in love with the wrong person. I fell in love with my best friend's father. I was fifteen when my crush started. Twenty-two when I realized it had never really ended. Aaron Lawrence has always been my safe place. Calm. Patient. Untouchable. The problem? He's seventeen years older than me. And he's the only man I can never have. ~~ ❝ I-I...hate you. ❞ ❝ Good. ❞ A teasing smile plays on his lips. ❝ Now come on, love...move those hips for me. ❞ ALL RIGHTS RESERVED to noctrawrites 2026
